Country music star Garth Brooks is facing a new lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault and battery by a hair and makeup artist who previously worked for him and his wife, Trisha Yearwood.
Brooks had attempted to block the lawsuit, vehemently denying the allegations.
TMZ has further details on the jaw-dropping accusations:
Garth Brooks cornered his makeup artist in a hotel suite and raped her so violently she felt like he was going to break her body in two … at least according to a new lawsuit.
The country star is being sued by a woman who claims she was his wife Trisha Yearwood‘s makeup and hairstylist for years before he hired her to work for him in the same role.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman claims in May 2019 Garth took her with him to Los Angeles for a Grammy tribute to Sam Moore, but when she boarded his private plane in Nashville she noticed they were the only ones traveling, which was unusual.
She claims when they got to L.A. she found out Garth had only rented one hotel room for the both of them, and he denied her request for her own room. She says Garth suddenly appeared in the doorway completely naked, and dragged her onto a bed in another room, where he overpowered her and raped her.
The filing alleges that Brooks held the woman, who is five feet tall, upside down by her ankles for an extended period.
The singer reportedly knew she was dealing with financial hardships at the time and needed work. He allegedly used that information to continue to have her work for him.
One of the most successful and influential country music artists of all time, Brooks’ career took off in the late 1980s and has been marked by record-breaking album sales, massive tours and numerous awards.
Brooks released his self-titled debut album in 1989, which became a massive success. It included hits like “The Dance” and “If Tomorrow Never Comes,” and he quickly gained a wide fanbase in the country music genre.
His second album, No Fences (1990) featured iconic songs like “Friends in Low Places” and “The Thunder Rolls,” helping him cross over into mainstream pop culture.
Brooks and Yearwood celebrated Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday this week by building homes for Habitat for Humanity. The former president and his deceased wife, Rosalynn began working with the nonprofit in 1984.
The woman allegedly had more than one illegal encounter with Brooks in addition to the hotel room incident.
TMZ contacted Garth Brooks’ representatives for comment, but they have not received a response yet.

Bury this and forget about it. He’s a Democrat.
I wonder if this is why Brooks didn’t attend the recent televised tribute to Toby Keith (a fellow Oklahoman)? I thought it was odd that Brooks would not want to pay tribute to Keith
I assume they liked and respected each other. But for all know, they may have disliked each other
Just like all democrats Brooks is a sexual deviant. Next you will see pictures and selfies of him with leading democrats and probably their all stars (Epstein, Weinstein, Weiner, Buck etc). How does an Oklahoman who sings country music become a radical, left, liberal? Purging all of my Brooks music now.
